Final Rankings – Malcolm Spence has clear tools—physicality, a strong shot, and two-way upside—but an underwhelming draft year raised concerns. Once seen as a high-motor competitor, his off-puck disengagement and lack of offensive evolution are the main worries. There’s still potential for a middle-six forward, but Spence needs to get back to what made him so highly coveted in the first place.—David Saad

January 2025- Spence brings a very pro-style game to the 2025 draft with his size, tenacity, and work rate. The 6’2” winger from the OHL has a solid cycle-possession game down low and can be a pain for other teams to play against. He owns a winning pedigree, having played instrumental parts in both Hlinka gold and WJC-u18 gold. Concerns of offensive upside have stagnated his climb up the rankings, so for now he slots somewhere in the mid first-round. Spence appears to be a safe bet to someday crack an NHL lineup and play a role in varying capacities. Whittaker Heart
